Reading Comprehension

Written by an educator for educators of all levels, Reading Comprehension outlines concepts, skills, and strategies for educators to use to help students improve their levels of reading comprehension. It covers oral language, phonemic awareness, print concepts, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Each of these components are built upon each other, so the student will have an outstanding knowledge of the English language and will be able to use it fluently in various domains. This process maintains a Socratic dialogue between students and subjects, allowing neither to overwhelm the other. Such teaching paradigms press for mastery of content in ways that enable students to apply their learning and connect it to other knowledge as they develop proficient performances in their fields of study.
